| - Plain and simple, the food at Futo Buta is fantastic. It's a great mix of creative and authentic, and will absolutely fill you up. The ramen is delicious and can be served spicy or not spicy, depending on your tastes. The pork belly is fantastic. Pork buns are really great, too.
On top of that, they have their own soft-serve, which I believe was ginger flavored when I first popped in! I didn't try it, but it sounded amazing.
The location is a bit tricky if you don't know where you're looking. It's in the Post South End apartment building (the same one with Crepe Cellar and what used to be World of Beer), facing the light rail on the Bland Street Station, on the far corner of the building away from Bland Street.
My single, solitary complaint seems to be a common one - the place is just too expensive for lunch. I totally understand that I'm paying for high quality food, but I wouldn't at all mind a pared down, cheaper lunch menu. That would get me coming back more often.
(And if the chef wanted to start serving breakfast, I'd probably be there for that, too. It's really good.)
